My children love this place. We had their last birthday party there. The staff were excellent and the prices fantastic. A great place for mum to sit back with a magazine and cuppa while the kids play and have a day of fun.

Approximate cost: $approx $32 for family of 5 including a free cuppa or cold drink for the parents.

I shop here several times a week. The supermarket is always clean, the staff are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you. I once lost all my money from the ATM outside Safeway, (walked off and left it) the staff were very helpful in helping my sort the problem, offered me a cuppa to calm down. The prices are great, they always have different specials to suit growing families. It's my favourite supermarket.

Approximate cost: $Various depending on how much you buy.

This ride is extremely fast and turns corners very quick. It's quite popular as I've had to line-up for a while to ride each visit. Short children cannot ride, my daughter was 6, we lined up for about half hour and they wouldn't let her in, that was a little dissapointing as she is one of those children that love fast and scary rides.

Approximate cost: $200+ for family day pass and lunch.

I love Dreamworld. Have been there many times. My childrens favourite place. Wiggle world especially. Great rides, great food (although expensive) very frienly staff. Loads and loads of entertainment.

Approximate cost: $200+

Been to Luna park about 3-4 times, very pricey. Not many rides for small children. I'm not a huge fan of this place. After being to other Aussie amusement parks Luna Park is quite poor, nothing like I heard or expected when moving to Melbourne.

Approximate cost: $155

I have taken my children here a few times and they once attended for a birthday party. It's is an excellent place, we have so much fun. My girls love the guinea pigs and spend hours nursing and patting them. Once they were closing and my children got upset because they wanted to see the guinea pigs and rabbits one more time, the lovely staff said that we could stay in for a little longer so the kids could be with them and watch the staff feed the animals! It's was lovely.

Approximate cost: $30
